Abstract

Test management is concerned with the activities involved in managing the software testing, whereas test execution is concerned with the activities involved during the execution of the test cases. The main activities in test management include the organization of the test team, test planning, test case design and specification, test execution, defect management, change request management, test monitoring and control, and test reporting. Good test management is a key enabler to project success, and an effective test process is repeatable and predictable.

Footnotes

The difference between expected/actual results could be due to factors rather than a genuine defect such as poor test data, errors made by the tester, or invalid expected results.

Grace Murray Hopper coined the term “computer bug” when she traced an error in the Harvard Mark II computer to a moth stuck in one of the relays. The bug was carefully removed and taped to a daily logbook, and the term is now ubiquitous in the computer field

For example, the budget estimation accuracy metric is given by (actual spend—original budget)/original budget * 100 (with similar formulae for schedule and effort estimation accuracy)
